A Michigan mother who fatally shot her three daughters before killing herself in her boyfriend’s driveway reportedly used a fake doctor’s note to take the girls out of class early the same day they were murdered.

Kent County Sheriff’s Office detectives told Fox 17 Aubrianne Moore turned up at her children’s school in the middle of the day on Feb. 18. She told school officials her daughters had a doctor’s appointment, which authorities said was never scheduled.

From there, the 29-year-old allegedly took her children, Alaina Rau, 2, Cassidy Rodery, 6, and 8-year-old Kyrie Rodery out for lunch before driving to a nearby wooded area in Solon Township and shooting each of them with a bolt-action hunting rife. Police said she then put their bodies back in the car and drove to her boyfriend’s home, stepped out of the vehicle and shot herself.

Moore’s boyfriend discovered all four bodies about an hour later outside of his home in Cedar Springs, located about 30 miles north of Grand Rapids.

"We were able to pretty accurately put together the timeline of everything that happened from the time the kids were picked up from school until the time the bodies were found, so we’re very certain that there wasn’t any opportunity for anyone else (to be involved),” Sheriff Michelle LaJoye-Young told WYFF.

Last September, Moore’s social worker warned of her behavior, recommending in a petition to the Newaygo County Court that she be admitted to a mental hospital, WOOD reported.

“Aubrianne is keeping her kids home from school because the television told her there would be a school bus accident today,” the social worker wrote. “Aubrianne stays awake at night believing people will break into her home. Aubrianne is not eating believing food is being poisoned.”

In another section, the social worker noted: “I believe the individual has a mental illness and as a result of that illness the individual can reasonably be expected within the near future to intentionally or unintentionally seriously physically injure self or others.”

Records indicate Moore was in fact hospitalized, but it’s unclear for how long.

Family members have claimed they were attempting to remove the children from their mother’s custody — but Child Protective Services told the news station it never had any involvement with Moore or her daughters.
